people forget that this great optics for governor christie who is a blue state. this is a time of dire need, people still don't have power right now. we should not be playing politics here. murdoch's comments are completely out of place. >> why do con zer tives, ari, insists that his kind words may swing the election. why are they doing that? >> i think they have a couple of problems. number one is they are already looking for things to blame for a romney loss. >> that's right. >> that's happening, first of all. >> the post-mortem is occurring even though the body is not dead? >> right. i mean, you know, there's a question about how much people are doing early voting nowadays. tuesday is almost like the time for late vote. if you have your stuff together you should have voted already. that's how it is in politics. i have worked on campaigns that have lost and it does happen. long before election day they see what they can do to maintain their legacy and angle that they weren't responsible for the loss. the other piece with rupert murdoch is -- by the way, i'm gla

and governor christie is a jersey guy, through and through. and what we're seeing in the last 24 hours with him, i think, is what i've seen with him over the last couple of years, wherever he's appeared. i didn't think he had the greatest keynote in the world, but the fact is that he is what he is. when he began to raise hell with the mayor of atlantic city for not following his orders, saying i don't give a damn about the election, i think people respond to that, democrat or republican. >> because it's real. president bush, you mentioned that moment as well as the first pitch soon after -- >> at the world series, incredible. >> incredibly symbolic and brave on a number of levels. he probably shouldn't have done it, but he did it. >> these kinds of events in the political climate in which we now live, there was no fireman that asked someone they were rescuing, are you a tea party member? red or blue state? how do you feel about tax cuts versus spending cuts? people just go out and get the job done, know that there's a big challenge ahead of u.

i think governor christie deserves enormous credit for saying that. he could have just been very political. he wasn't. president obama wasn't political. i think his bipartisanship is what is going to be needed after the election that we saw in new jersey and we're seeing in the northeast and we should keep that out of politics. >> i want to ask about the attack on the consulate in benghazi. this story is no longer about mitt romney's response. how big a problem is this for the obama administration? >> well, what needs to happen is a thur row investigation. that's being done by very reputable people that have served in the foreign service. the issue has to be were those calls for additional personnel properly handled. and i think the state department needs to conduct a thorough investigation. what's bad about the benghazi issue is how it's been politicized. four americans were killed. let's get to the bottom of how it happened and not make it political. it was a security issue. al qaeda was involved. we have had a good, strong strategy against al qaeda
